How to play
Fill each answer using its clue. Tap a square twice to switch direction. Use your keyboard, the answer field, or the letter keys below. Arrow keys move between squares; Enter moves to the next clue; Shift+Enter moves back. Tab leaves the grid. Check word marks errors; Reveal letter fills one square and counts a hint. You win when every letter is correct.
These are connected, free-form crosswords, rather than symmetrical newspaper grids. Themes rotate every Monday at midnight Mauritius time. Progress stays in this browser.
